A biography of a long-standing Liberal MP. As well as the revival of the Liberal Party and the formation of the Liberal Democrats, it examines his experiences as a Conscientious Objector in the Second World War; his work in the Methodist Church; his role in the resignation of Jeremy Thorpe and in the Lib-Lab Pact.
"Richard Wainwright, the Liberals and Liberal Democrats: Unfinished Business" offers new research on familiar themes involving loyalties of politics, faith and locality. Richard Wainwright was a Liberal MP for seventeen years during the Party's recovery, but his life tells us about much more than this. Wainwright grew up in prosperity, but learned from voluntary work about poverty; he refused to fight in World War Two, but saw war at its cruellest; he joined the Liberal Party when most had given up on it, but gave his fortune to it; lost a by-election but caused the only Labour loss in Harold Wilson's landslide of 1966. He then played a key role in the fall of Jeremy Thorpe, the Lib-Lab Pact and the formation of the SDP-Liberal Alliance and the Liberal Democrats; he represented a unique Yorkshire constituency which reflected his pride and hope for society; and though he gave his life to the battle to be in the Commons, he refused a seat in the Lords. Richard Wainwright's story is central to the story of the Liberal Party and sheds light on the reasons for its survival and the state of its prospects. At the same time this book is a parable of politics for anyone who wants to represent an apparently lost cause, who want to motivate people who have been neglected, and who wants to follow their convictions at the highest level.
